Convective/Storm Discussion for 06/0614 - 07-06-14

[Darren Bown]

Strike detected from the cell east of Wales.

[Panayiotis]

Yep heard the thunder here with lightning detected on the realtime 

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Can't wait for that stuff in the channel to hit Dorset, interesting prospects from then on as it encounters peak heating.

Cap around here is weakening all the while with towers shooting up

Not happy about this rain, completely clouded over now. It might have been worthwhile if it was more electrified.

[The PIT]

Yup first one shredded fairly well 2nd one will pass just to the east. No lightning though.

[Mark.C]

Showers are moving north east, need something to develop over west Wales to be heading towards me

[Karl83]

Sure I just heard another rumble.

 

Looks like its gona get interesting!

[Harry]

Strikes me as a lot more action across the SW than originally forecast. Yes isolated heavy downpours were forecast but strikes me (pardon the punne) that outbreaks are more extensive than expected. Estofex hasn't even the SW under a 15% lightning risk. Does make wonder whether the UKMO forecast is on to something for later down here

I think I heard a faint rumble in the distance from my S/SW...perhaps the same one you heard Karl!

 

Dark skies coming in from my SW.....could get lucky..

Don't give up faith, you had and still have a higher chance than me of getting something.

If so, that's 2 today! Oh, make that 3, another rumble as I type!!

 

Looking dark to the SW. Hope to see some lightning now. 

[Darren Bown]

Showers popped up to my west and also south, I'm going straight through the Middle ATM!

[Noahjoe]

Does anyone know about the chances for tonight that people have been talking about for the last few days?

[The PIT]

Splitting and going either side of me as per normal. Surprised it survived first one rebuilding as it leaves as per normal.

[ChezWeather]

Heavy shower passed here, felt incredibly humid as it approached, you could almost sense that Lightning was about to strike...

 

But it didn't 

[elfinpunk]

Cell moved from Weston-super-Mare on towards Bristol. Didn't hear any Thunder but did note sferics shown on the storm app not far off.

[William Grimsley]

Sunny skies to my S now and feeling much fresher.

[Gordon Webb]

general track seems to be the hereford and worcester area think I'm just too far east to get this directly

 

Edit - Hooray 250 posts

I think there's a low chance of storms tonight/early hours in the south east, had lots of alto cumulus today which we didn't have on Friday and also plenty of mackeral skies this evening!

 

Better chance than Fri/Sat

[Karl83]

Another nice crack of thunder.

Directly above me it seems.

Still no lightning though...

[Chris K]

Its here...rain started but skies are flat grey and not 'stormy looking'. Definitely a couple of rumbles from it but it sounds elevated?

I always get that gutted feeling when it gets fresher! That's when you know the worst is over!

[Raidan]

Yay finally thunder and lightning in Bristol.

[Dancerwithwings]

Pretty much you can see them strikes pop up all round the Cardiff, Newport , Bristol area .......Couple in the Midlands also.
